kaj's birthday!

today is a special day, it is kaj's birthday! he is 5years old...he is our male harlequin-merle great dane..we havent had for all of those 5years, just about 2..he is a sweet boy. the only male in the house. he is very stoic and loves to watch things..when we have the plummer out -kaj followed him around like he was his apprentice. it is very funny to watch..he is a big 'fraidy cat of unsuspecting noises. when he hears something he doesnt like, he high tails it upstairs in the the master bathroom...he doesnt like to walk on anything no carpeted...when he does have to walk on noncarpeted surfaces he is very very slow like he is walking on eggshells...he is a leaner and will gladly sit his rump on you for a short sit. loves to hoave his ears rub and loves a good massage..when he is really tired and you try to talk to him or pet him , he makes these lurch-type noises, you know lurch from the "addams family sitcom"..they sound just like him!we are very greatful to have kaj and love him to death..he is a joy to have around this old man...

I have always found the great dane a "very special" dog . I worked at the SPCA as a volunteer for years and saw first hand how gentle spirited these giants really are.(I won't tell you the details of how he arrived at the shelter) however he did get the love he deserved with us and eventually a good home!:) Happy B. Day Kaj! woof
